DAYTON, Ohio – The DePaul men’s soccer team snapped a four-match losing streak with a 2-1 win over Evansville in the opening match of the Dayton Flyer Classic.  Patrick Vyncke scored both goals to lead the Blue Demons with a header in each half.

 

In the first half, Vyncke scored on a diving header off a corner kick.  Julian Chill set up the play and found a streaking Vyncke at 34:27.  For Chill, it was his fourth assist of the season.

 

Just before halftime, the Purple Aces tied the match when Chris Binder beat DePaul keeper Michael Timlin at 43:40.  Cory Elenio was credited with the assist as he centered the ball to Binder who found the back of the net.
